HYBRID - HIGH RELIABILITY
RADIATION HARDENED
DC-DC CONVERTER
Description
The LS-Series of DC-DC converters are, high reliability
devices designed for hostile radiation hardened
environments. The LS-Series provide up to 30 watts
output power, small size, low weight, integrated EMI
filtering and a high tolerance to environmental stresses
such as radiation, temperature extremes, mechanical
shock, and vibration. Extensive documentation
including, thermal analysis, stress analysis and reliability
predictions are available.
The LS-Series of converters incorporate a fixed
frequency single forward topology with magnetic
feedback and an internal EMI filter. These converters
are capable of meeting the conducted emissions
requirements of MIL-STD-461C without any additional
components. All models include an external inhibit port
and have an adjustable output voltage. They are
enclosed in a hermetic 1.5" x 2.3" x 0.425" steel package
and weigh less than 80 grams. The package utilizes
rugged ceramic feed-through copper core pins and is
sealed using parallel seam welding.
The LS-Series of DC-DC converters provide same
mechanical outline, power ratings, for backward pin
compatibility, to their lower radiation tolerant counterpart
M3L and Military series ATS DC-DC converters. The
common platform design allows for similarity between
military and space system architectures. For higher
output power applications the HM, M3H and M3G-Series
of DC-DC converters are recommended.
Manufactured in a facility fully qualified to MIL-PRF-
38534, these converters are fabricated utilizing DLA
Land and Maritime qualified processes. For available
screening options, refer to device screening table in the
data sheet.
Variations in electrical specifications and screening to
meet custom requirements can be accommodated.

LS-SERIES
(28V Input, Single/Dual Output)
Circuit Description
The LS-Series converters utilize a single-ended
forward topology with resonant reset. The nominal
switching frequency is 500kHz. Electrical isolation
and tight output regulation are achieved through the
use of a magnetically coupled feedback. Voltage
feed-forward with duty factor limiting provides high
line rejection and protection against output over
voltage in the event of an internal control loop failure.
An internal EMI filter allows the converter to meet
the conducted emissions requirements of MIL-STD-
461C on the input power leads.
Output current is limited under any load fault
condition to approximately 125% of rated. An
overload condition causes the converter output
voltage to drop below nominal. The converter will
resume normal operation when the load current is
reduced below the current limit point. This protects
the converter from both overload and short circuit
conditions. The current limit point exhibits a slightly
negative temperature coefficient to reduce the
possibility of thermal runaway.
An external inhibit port is provided to control
converter operation. The converter’s operation is
inhibited when this pin is pulled low. It is intended
to be driven by an open collector logic device. The
pin may be left open for normal operation and has a
nominal open circuit voltage of 11V with respect to
the input return (pin 2).
The output voltage of all models can be adjusted
using a single external resistor.
Design Methodology
The LS-Series was developed using a proven
conservative design methodology derived from other
space level designs that includes selection of
established reliability components and fully de-
rating to the requirements of MIL-STD-975
except
for the CDR type of capacitors, a capacitor with 50V
rating is used for in-circuit voltage stress of less
than10V.
A magnetic feedback circuit is utilized
instead of opto -couplers to minimize temperature,
aging and radiation sensitivity. PSPICE was used
extensively to predict and optimize circuit
performance for both beginning and end-of-life.
Thorough design analyses include stress, thermal,
and reliability (MTBF).

Parameter is tested as part of design characterization or after design changes. Thereafter, parameter
shall be guaranteed to the limits specified.
Parameter verified during line and load regulation tests.
Output load current must be distributed such that at least 20% of the total load current is being provided by
one of the outputs.
Load current split equally between outputs on dual output models.
Cross regulation is measured with 20% rated load on output under test while changing the load on the
other output from 20% to 80% of rated.
Guaranteed for a D.C. to 20MHz bandwidth. Tested using a 20KHz to 10MHz bandwidth using the circuit
on page 6.
Capacitive load may be any value from 0 to the maximum limit without compromising dc performance. For
a capacitive load in excess of the maximum limit, consult the factory.
Overload power dissipation is defined as the device power dissipation with the load set such that V
OUT
=
90% of nominal.
Load step transition time
≤
10µs.
Recovery time is measured from the initiation of the transient to where V
OUT
has returned to within ±1% of
its steady state value.
Line step transition time
≤
100µs.
Turn-on delay time from either a step application of input power or a logic low to a logic high transition on
the inhibit pin (pin 4) to the point where V
OUT
= 90% of nominal.
For operation at temperatures between +85°C and 125°C, de-rate the maximum output power linearly from
100% to 75%.
